Good and Evil Arguing Over the Remote
My favorite piece of you
Was between your legs
It’s where I always put my head
But every three weeks it would go red
I never wanted you to come back
Your spiritual mania put you on the wrong track
So drink some more beer and just get fat
Wait a second, I thought this was a gunfight
But all the girls are waving knives
And my pistol turns out to be a flashlight
But before we get started I should tell you I’m not blind
You told me you’re a model
But I’ve seen you from behind
Seen you from the front too
Too up front every time
I can’t say anything too kind
So I’m accidentally throwing up gang signs
Thinking it’s sign language
Trying to make wall shadow designs
But my flashlight just misfired
And now I’ve made a noose out of cobwebs
I’m like a bully eagle stealing other birds’ eggs
And some of you think I’m evil because I used my legs
Walking out on you always ends an era
I mean that I’m an error
My mom just couldn’t keep her legs together
I’m bored as fuck and lonely sometimes
That’s why I write poems that don’t rhyme
That’s why I sell my soul for a nickel
When it cost me a dime
So if you ever see me standing on a corner reading this
You’ll know I’ve reached the point where I’m beyond pissed
Don’t tell me we went to high school together
You went there while I didn’t exist
I’m trapped inside a URL address
So that even after I die from life’s endurance test
There will be a full record of this sorry mess
My name’s Josh and I’m a verbaholic
I gave my work fifty words and they still don’t know what to call it
And to everyone I’ve ever stolen from:
I like your ideas more than what’s in your wallet
I trade in demons and dollars
I tried to kill a demon once but he caught me by the collar
I tried to make an honest buck once
But my ego’s just too big to swallow
So while we’re coming out in the open
If I was a gay porn star I’d call myself Big Ben
You keep getting urinary infections from fucking Pig Pen
And I just sold your life story with my own spin
Exhaling into your mouth like a kiss
You’ve got bad breath but some great tits
Did I just cross a line there?
If I didn’t, then I guess I missed
I’m a liar when I say I keep a list
I’m a whore for friends with benefits
A continual misstatement
Shooting for the stars from a basement
If your whole life was open to criticism
You’d understand every word I meant
When people come at you this hard
It’s like they leave marks
You’re permanently scarred
There’s no glory in being ripped apart
There’s no saying what isn’t art
But if I find a nice vein to stick it in
I’ll have come a long way to be back at the start
